He said he had been thinking about asking me back in May/June when we went to New York, and all that time I had no idea.
He wanted to buy me a ring, but didn't know what to get as I don't wear rings. I told him about Kate Szabone's Etsy shop, after seeing her mentioned in posts by Erica and Kate, because I loved the rings and love that she's local. He got his own Etsy account (aww), ordered the white sapphire ring, and gave it to me for my birthday. It is a lovely, delicate, dainty thing. I love it!
We're aiming for April of 2010, or possibly May. Or maybe this summer or fall, at City Hall? We'll see!
We told our friends at my birthday party and as they were leaving our friends Ben & Tara told us they were engaged on Christmas Day. So lovely!
aaahhhhhh...wonderful!

ReplyDeleteHi! Wow! I saw a picture of your ring on another blog, and thought it looked familiar. Sure enough, we have many things in common.
ReplyDeleteI just got engaged a few months ago too, and I too am in Toronto, and I too chose a beautiful Kate Szabone ring! Yay for all of those things!
I know this was posted a while back (I just found my way to your blog and am hopping through the archives) but- congratulations on the engagement!
ReplyDeletewhat a lovely engagement story and ring (which I saw a few posts back).
hey there lady! congratulations! when you commented on my blog, I had to hurry over here to find out when you had gotten engaged. must have been before I discovered your lovely blog. I heart your ring too! Kate is really the best. and so are boys who sign up for etsy accounts. :)
